Submission instructions — Ontario Driver Abstract
Submission instructions explain how the recipient wants the requested document supplied. They are distinct from Ontario's product descriptions and from the ordering provider's delivery information. A request may need clarification about the named record, certification, issue date or acceptable method of supplying the copy before an individual chooses an order route.
Meaning in this reference
Submission instructions explain how the recipient wants the requested document supplied. They are distinct from Ontario's product descriptions and from the ordering provider's delivery information. A request may need clarification about the named record, certification, issue date or acceptable method of supplying the copy before an individual chooses an order route.
Use the term in context
Keep those instructions with the original request and ask about any ambiguity. An available online ordering service does not establish that every recipient accepts the resulting copy in every format. This glossary describes a practical clarification step; it does not create a universal submission rule or predict an employer's, insurer's or authority's final decision.
